back towards thewest, you can tell this not a big system. it's only a couple hundred miles wide. it's not going to take long to here.n through by this time tomorrow morning it's done and we're on to storm number two in the same day. that's what's kind of interesting with this scenario here playing out tomorrow. here's tonight. again, not much going on. but here comes the snow ar-wide by around 1:00, 2:00 in the morning. so we will see that snow coming through the d.c. met area. fredericksburg, not much there. fredericksburg, you see that sleet mixing in there. again, 5:00a.m., just about everybody seeing some snow. this when i expect toee some accumulating snow happening, especially on grassy surfaces, maybe on som of the secondary roads. however, we think most of the main roads will be okay. 8:00 a.m., i don't expect any more accumulation after the sun comes up tomorrow. what to expect for tomorroor snow the early part of the rush. delays likely on those roads, isolatedce cations. e've already seen a couple of thos

most main roads just wet, 270, the beltway, 95, 66, should be just wet but some of the secondary roads could be a problem out there early tomorrow. so how much snow? coating to an inch. d.c., waldorf, the warrenton area in the cit itself, maybe 0.7 at the airport tomorrow. 1 to inches, though, winchester, up towards frederick, pleesburgts of montgomery county, maybe up to 3 inches. the closer you are to pennsylvania, the better chance you have to see some of thatnd higher totals. this not a huge storm. again, most of this should be one by the time the sun comes up. here is the interesting part. 8:00 a.m., still some snow showers. no more accumulatio but watch this, 6:00 tomorrow night. we're all headings to you're going to be watching us tomorrow at 6:00 and then headed dinner. more snow possible around hagerstown and frederick. this could accumulate in those areas. look at the heavy rain tomorrow

night into earlyurday morning. by saturday morning, it's out of here and things change again. s 53 onurday with some cloud cover. 80% chance of p.m. rain,42 latest computer model i've seen now has a lot more snow on sunday. so this could be more of a rain-snow event. i was thinking snow maybe around hagerstown, but it may be closer to the d.c. metro area. that's something we'll track for you. lookhat happens behind this. we stay on the cold side. temperatures looking to around freezingn wednesday. arctic cold coming in.hi if you it's interesting for us, last night at this time boston was thinking masne an inch o out of this little storm system. now it could be a foot on saturday. y blow. >> i think it changed a little here, it changed a lot more for them. >> boston needs to catch up with us anyway. that's right. we're beating them, doreen. >> thanks, doug. , coming bryce harper, the phillies. hear how his new manager found hear how his new manager found e t about th
